This work is based on a concern for women’s health and autonomy and on the premise that technology and society mutually shape one another. A basic question is one of cultural appropriation.

Do technologies take on different shapes, different practices, and have different impacts as they spread from one place to another? By juxtaposing a number of culturally and historically contextualized studies of similar technologies, the editors demonstrate that although technologies globalize by spreading among cultures, they are also localized by the cultures they encounter.
